Ableton certified clinician Rob Jones from Producertech gives an in depth guide to the LFOTool plugin from Xfer Records, which allows users huge scope for designing multiple custom LFO curves and sequences.
In this video Rob talks through the GUI layout and features through to applications within your DAW – in this case Ableton Live.
About LFOTool
LFOTool is an FX utility plug-in for both Macintosh OS X® and Windows®. It empowers music producers to create tremolo, auto-pan, trance-gate, side-chain compressor simulation, and dubstep-type wobble effects with minimal effort.
LFOTool will process incoming audio as well as generate a MIDI message stream for controlling other instruments. This unique plug-in also allows users to sculpt custom LFO curves and shapes and comes equipped with dozens of presets to achieve desired results quickly.
Consistent with other products in Xfer Records' software line up, LFOTool is coded entirely in C++ in order to minimize the CPU load during operation.
